Clumsy NZ policeman stuns himself
A clumsy New Zealand policeman, who was attending a domestic dispute, accidentally shot himself and a teenager with a stun gun.
The constable was loading his weapon - to stun a man at the centre of the incident - when he accidentally blasted himself with the Taser's 50,000 volts, the New Zealand Herald reports.
Another shot hit the man's 16-year-old son.
After five attempts to hit the man, the officer eventually used pepper spray. But he succeeded only in hitting the man's 21-year-old daughter - an unintended target.
The wanted man eventually gave himself up.
